Could the 3.5% rule defeat Trump? Encouraging data
Listen to this podcast for how history shows us change happens. Hint: takes a sustained, creative protest movement including strikes, economic boycotts as support grows. The movement must maintain and grow support in the face of stark authoritarian pushback. It took 3.5 percent of population.
The database is history, not prediction but it is enough for me to see this as the path forward.
